IOMeter is another open source synthetic benchmarking tool which is able to simulate the various loads placed on hard drive and solid state drive technology.
We use a custom Kitguru configuration for 4k random write to measure performance. We use the same test, but for random read performance also.
IOmeter performance is exceptionally good in both 4k random read and write tests. Every company does rate the drives slightly differently, but our results are very close to the OCZ claims. The results are basically indistinguishable between the 512GB drive with 31 firmware and the 128GB drive with the newer 1.4 firmware.
awesome, time to update my main system !
they are great drives, good to see them all coming down in price too.
Would have been nice if you would have focused on actual real world performance. Quite often synthetic benchmarks are only a very very rough approximation of real world performance.
Lots of issues were fixed by this update, and yes, the performance was noticeably increased. This update was just a relief
Great review & info’ thanks. I have ordered a Vertex 4 128GB and will be seeing for myself the results in real testing soon and this will be on firmware 1.5 as that has now been released.
does the ONfi NAND modules support toggle mode ?
